    He isn’t denying asylum claims. That is a lie. He is pausing the processing of asylum claims so we can catch up. Asylum seekers will still get to apply; they just have to wait. There is only so much manpower and time in the day, so there is a finite amount of applications that can be processed during a week. Makes sense to me.

      Pausing asylum claims means people have to wait and die. For them, there’s no difference between a pause and a denial.

      Pausing claims after such a low number of approvals will also mean some people will be waiting months.

      Why are you even bothering to defend Bide after last night? We should be replacing him!

        Replace with who? Nobody has a better shot than him, like it or not.

        Having to wait is part of getting asylum. It’s not the end of the world. If they absolutely can’t wait, they can cross away from the official border crossing
